      Fullstack Developer Interview

      5 Aug 2023
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Uplift.ltd

      Interview

      An opening round online quiz of 50 questions, then a quick meet with the recruiter, then a take home. The take home was a decent size full stack application - they say to take 4-8 hours but it took around 30 hours to MVP - and I felt it was really just an MVP, could have spent quite a bit more time refactoring. At first the founder emailed me saying the take home looked good and we would probably move forward, he just needed the team to look first. Then the team looked and decided it wasn't a fit. I did get some feedback in an email - but given the amount of time they're asking for this project, I think their team should consider giving feedback on the PR itself to point to specific code lines they're calling out. I guess the dev team is looking for folks who can hit the ground running - and the code they expect needs to be perfectly architected. I really didn't have time to refactor and make things perfect. I think a lot of the feedback are pretty basic things that can be understood and fixed pretty quickly on the job. Some of the feedback was actually mentioned in the "If you had more time, what would you do" section of the PR description - which makes me think the reviewers didn't read al lot the PR description which outlined . Overall you'd want to know their tech stack pretty well it seems to pass. I would urge uplift to consider spending a little bit more time reviewing these take home challenges and/or considering a smaller test to get a signal more quickly.

      Thank you for your feedback. Fair that familiarity with the stack really helps here. For context, we hire contractors who can jump right in, and most contract work assumes prior expertise. We get 100 applicants per role on average. Of those who get to the take-home exercise, few put in as much effort as you said here - 30 hours. We've hired folks after 4 hours on the take-home exercise, and more commonly we hire ones that put in more time. 30 hours tends to be on the very high end though. I do not have metrics on the average time spent for hired folks, but it would be interesting. The take-home has options for various languages, but oftentimes we expect specific ones for a role we would hire. We are working on making it more accessible to submit a passable take-home, but we have a fairly light interview process so our take-home is really the primary way to show expertise (and the best, IMO, in software engineering technical skills).
